Back in the 1800s, information travelled slowly. Who would dream of
instant messages? Samuel Morse, that's who! Who travelled to
France, where the famous telegraph towers relayed 10,000 possible
codes for messages depending on the signal arm positions - only if
the weather was clear? Who imagined a system that would use
electric pulses to instantly carry coded messages between two
machines, rain or shine? Long before the first telephone, who
changed communication forever? Samuel Morse, that's who! This
dynamic and substantive biography celebrates an early technology
pioneer. Perfect for fans of Gene Barretta's popular inventor
series.
